Quotes 

• Beth Chapel : The Shade killed Doctor Mid-Nite? So that means... Doctor Mid-Nite's the only one of the JSA that we haven't gotten justice for. We need to.

  Courtney Whitmore : First things first, we need to find out where the Shade is hiding.

  Rick Tyler : All for that, but then what? You-You can't punch a shadow, Court.

  Courtney Whitmore : [lost for words]  Pat?

  Pat Dugan : Yeah?

  Courtney Whitmore : How does one punch a shadow?

  Pat Dugan : Oh, well, yeah. I mean, as long as you're asking, I did see Starman incapacitate the Shade one time using the staff.

  Courtney Whitmore : Yes!

  Yolanda Montez : S-So... so, we knock out this shadowy freak. And then what, Mr. Dugan?

  Pat Dugan : I don't know yet. I don't know.

• Pat Dugan : Well, turns out the girl who cried wolf was, uh, right after all.

  Courtney Whitmore : Of course I was right. There's a wolf in Blue Valley. He's called the Shade, the last member of the Injustice Society.

  Pat Dugan : The Shade worked with the ISA in the past, but he quit a while back. I don't know what he's up to now, but he's going by the name Richard Swift. He's posing as an antiques dealer, and he's basically an antique himself. There's photographic evidence of him going back to the 1800s.

  Yolanda Montez : So he's, like, really old.

  Courtney Whitmore : Pat thinks he doesn't age. His powers...

  Pat Dugan : Are shadows. His powers are shadows. He can manipulate them and travel through darkness.

  Beth Chapel : So why is he in Blue Valley? To finish what the ISA started?

  Pat Dugan : I don't think so, Beth. He had a falling-out with them after he helped them defeat the JSA, but, uh... I know he's bad news. I watched him kill Doctor Mid-Nite.

• Mike Dugan : So, in conclusion, show us the location of, quote, the Shade, unquote, not to be confused with a lamp or window shade, but the last known member of the Injustice Society of America, hiding somewhere in Blue Valley, Nebraska, 68060, USA.

  Beth Chapel : [as the pen crackles, a pink flame appears on a nearby map]  Where is he?

  Pat Dugan : That's William Zarick's old house.

  Yolanda Montez : That's the Wizard, right?

  Pat Dugan : Yeah.

  Courtney Whitmore : Hey, you did it, Mike!

  Pat Dugan : Yeah, you did good.

  Mike Dugan : Thanks, Dad. Let's go.

  Pat Dugan : Whoa! Whoa! You're staying here.

  Mike Dugan : What?

  Pat Dugan : Yeah, that was the deal, remember? You agreed to it. And it's safer that way for everyone.

  Mike Dugan : No, no, no, no, no. Come on, man. You can't bench me now. I...

  Pat Dugan : I'm sorry, Mike, that's just the way it is.

  Courtney Whitmore : Mike, you really did help us.

  Pat Dugan : Hey, you guard the Pit Stop. That's an important job, right? There's some, uh, pizza bites, string cheese, and some of those juice boxes you like.

  Mike Dugan : [dejected]  Mikey Thunder, riding the pine.

• Pat Dugan : I knew you took the other stuff from the JSA headquarters, but you didn't tell me you took the pen.

  Courtney Whitmore : I forgot about it!

  Pat Dugan : Okay, Court, I told you it was dangerous. Somebody could have been killed.

  Courtney Whitmore : Well, you should've told me everything about it in the first place. You know, been specific.

  Mike Dugan : You gotta be real specific with the wishing, let me tell you.

  Pat Dugan : No, Mike. No more wishes.

  Beth Chapel : But, Mr. Dugan is this genie really grants wishes, maybe he could fix the goggles?

  Rick Tyler : Or find the Shade?

  Yolanda Montez : And stop him.

  Pat Dugan : Trust me, he'd just cause more trouble.

  Mike Dugan : Me?

  Pat Dugan : No, not you, Mike, the Thunderbolt. He's not exactly a living monkey's paw, but he's close.

  Mike Dugan : [the pen crackles]  I, uh... I think he can hear you. Also, what's this got to do with monkeys?

• Courtney Whitmore : Mike and the Thunderbolt could find the Shade for us.

  Rick Tyler : We don't have any leads on him, Pat.

  Beth Chapel : And the goggles haven't found him.

  Pat Dugan : The Thunderbolt, it's dangerous, Beth, okay?

  Courtney Whitmore : You didn't want me to use the Cosmic Staff for the same reason.

  Yolanda Montez : You didn't want any of us suiting up at first.

  Courtney Whitmore : But together, we stopped the ISA. A-And Mike helped. He stopped Icicle, if you remember.

  Pat Dugan : Yeah, I try to not think about it.

  Courtney Whitmore : We need to find the Shade, and Mike and the Thunderbolt are our best chance of doing that right now.

  Mike Dugan : She rests my case.

  Pat Dugan : Okay, you can help us *locate* the Shade. That's it. Deal?

  Mike Dugan : [offering a fist bump]  My man.

  Pat Dugan : All right, knowing how these wishes can backfire, we gotta come up with one that's bulletproof, and I need all of your help.

• Beth Chapel : [trying to get Chuck back online]  It's still not working!

  Rick Tyler : It's okay. We'll get Chuck back.

  Beth Chapel : No. It's useless, Rick. I'm never getting Chuck back, and we lost Doctor Mid-Nite's killer. Everything's falling apart!

  Rick Tyler : What's going on? Beth?

  [she stands to leave] 

  Rick Tyler : Hey, you can... you can talk to me. Pretend I'm Chuck.

  Beth Chapel : I think my parents might be getting a divorce.

  Rick Tyler : What? Did they say something?

  Beth Chapel : No. I found some papers.

  Rick Tyler : Okay. Well, papers are just papers. You should talk to them. I would talk to mine if I could.

• Beth Chapel : Chuck, I can hear you. It's me! It's Beth!

  Chuck : You have to listen. Whoever you are, you need to know...

  Beth Chapel : What?

  Chuck : You're in danger. Eclipso...

  Beth Chapel : [the goggles power down]  Chuck?

  Rick Tyler : What was it? What did Chuck say?

  Beth Chapel : He said we're in danger. He said Eclipso is here.

  [cut to the town's clock tower] 

  The Shade : [opening the black diamond box]  He's gonna kill those children.

• The Shade : Oh, my. Quite the assembly. I hope I have enough biscuits. Come, come. Do sit down. The tea is nicely steeped. It's perfect, in fact, if I say so myself.

  Pat Dugan : We're not here for teatime, Shade. What are you doing in Blue Valley?

  The Shade : Pat Dugan. It took me a moment to place the name in the diner.

  Pat Dugan : By the way, I knew that was a 1967 Jag, right? You know that?

  The Shade : Well, of course I do, Stripesy. Oh, I see. Same sidekick, different Star-Spangled Kid.

  Stargirl : Stargirl.

  The Shade : Oh, absolutely. Now, please sit. We could do it the other way, I suppose, all bother and perspiration, or we could try the more genteel approach.

  Dr. Mid-Nite : You murdered Doctor Mid-Nite. You don't deserve the genteel approach!

  The Shade : My dear young lady... and I mean this in the nicest possible way, you don't know what you're talking about. Now, sit. I implore you.

  Pat Dugan : All right, kids, let's go ahead and have a seat.

  The Shade : Wonderful.

  Pat Dugan : Thank you.

  Hourman : Try anything, and I'll see how many teacups I can shove down your throat.

  The Shade : Don't you teach these children any manners, Stripesy?
